I love Johnny Cash's cover. I believe that it hits so hard because Cash recorded th3 cover when old, he sang from a life time of having made poor decisions and reflection.

Have you seen the music video? It's a gut punch of him singing with snapshots of his life and all he'd lost. I cried like a bitch the first time I saw it.

He focused on the pain.
The only thing that's real.

To me it showed what was valuable to him and in the end what was not. The accolades, the fame and the money were not important. People, where you were from and those that you cared about were what mattered.

To me he was saying that if he could go back and do it all over again he wouldn't.

Agree. To me he was saying he would have stayed small time playing local venues and whatever to make ends meet. The juice was not worth the squeeze.

A pyrrhic victory of life. Johnny Cash is such a tragic story. Dude had everything and nothing all at once and in the end the bill wasn't worth the meal.
